Remi Cadene was at Tesla working on Optimus, and now builds robots at Hugging Face:
Remi's academic journey took him from Paris, where he earned his PhD at Sorbonne, to postdoctoral studies at Brown University. He later joined Tesla in California, starting as an intern and eventually becoming a permanent research scientist.
In this episode, we discuss his time overseas, his unique experience working with Andrej Karpathy at Tesla, and how his passion for open-source projects brought him back to Europe.
Now, he's part of Hugging Face and leading Le Robot, an exciting new open-source robotics project.
